Logs double-double with 11 boards Fox provided 20 points (9-23 FG, 2-8 3Pt), 11 rebounds, six assists and one block over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 130-115 loss to the Bucks.
Impact Fox usually hits the double-double milestone via a high assist total, but Fox achieved the point-rebound double-double for the second time this season during Tuesday's defeat. Although Fox is enjoying some of the best numbers of his eight-year career, he's only recorded six double-doubles, which is surprising considering his voluminous production.

Scores efficiently in return Fox (glute) recorded 26 points (9-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one block across 33 minutes in Sunday's 124-119 win over the Bulls.
Impact In his return from a three-game absence due to a bruised right glute, Fox ceded more of the distribution responsibilities to backcourt mate Malik Monk (team-high nine assists), but Fox made up for the atypically low assist count by displaying some rare hot shooting from three-point land. Considering Fox came into the contest converting only 32.1 percent of his three-point attempts on the season, fantasy managers shouldn't count on him providing more than one or two triples in most contests, but more importantly, the 27-year-old guard looked healthy and composed in his return to the court. Managers can feel safe in rolling out Fox for the Kings' upcoming three-game week.

Will return Sunday Fox (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
Impact Fox has been upgraded from questionable to available and will return to action following a three-game absence due to a right glute contusion. Fox's return will send Keon Ellis back to the bench, while Malik Monk's usage will take a hit. Before the injury, Fox scored at least 23 points in nine straight games, averaging 28.3 points, 6.3 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 37.6 minutes a night during that stretch.

Questionable to play Sunday Fox (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
Impact Fox has missed the Kings' last three games due to a right glute contusion. He was able to participate in the Kings' shootaround before Friday's game against the Celtics, but he wasn't able to progress enough in his recovery to play. Keon Ellis would remain in the starting lineup and Malik Monk would continue to see a larger role on offense if Fox is unable to play Sunday.

Slated to miss another contest Fox (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Celtics.
Impact Despite participating during Friday's morning shootaround, Fox has been downgraded from questionable to out and will miss a third straight game. Keon Ellis should draw another start in Fox's absence, while Kevin Huerter and Devin Carter will also see additional minutes. However, Malik Monk has been the primary beneficiary thus far, averaging 26.7 points, 8.0 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 steals in 37.0 minutes over his last three appearances. Fox's next chance to suit up will come Sunday in Chicago.

Impact Fox's ability to participate in shootaround bodes well for his status after a two-game absence due to the glute injury. If the star point guard remains sidelined for a third consecutive outing, Keon Ellis should remain in the starting five, though Devin Carter and Kevin Huerter are candidates for a bump in minutes off the bench. Over his last five outings, Fox has averaged 29.2 points, 6.2 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.6 steals across 38.0 minutes per game.

Questionable against Boston Fox (glute) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Celtics.
Impact Fox has missed two straight games for the Kings and could be on track to miss a third. Even though Sacramento has struggled this season, Fox has been playing at a high level, averaging a career-high 26.7 points with 4.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.6 steals per game. If he's unable to play against Boston, Malik Monk could shoulder the load in the backcourt.

Ruled out for Monday Fox (hip) will not play Monday against the Heat.
Impact Sunday's game against the Warriors was Fox's first absence of the season, but now he'll end up missing both games of this back-to-back set. The Kings are off until Jan. 10 after Monday's game, and fantasy managers should consider him questionable for that contest. As for Monday, Malik Monk will soak up more usage, while Keon Ellis and Devin Carter are likely to see extended minutes in the backcourt.

Officially ruled out Fox (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Warriors.
Impact As expected, Fox has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss his first game of the season. In his absence, Keon Ellis should move into the starting lineup, while Malik Monk handles increased usage. Rookie Devin Carter, who recently made his NBA debut, could also be a larger factor in the rotation against Golden State. Fox's next chance to suit up will come Monday against Miami.

Unlikely to play Sunday Fox is unlikely to play Sunday against the Warriors due to a right glute contusion, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
Impact Fox has been feeling some glute soreness after taking a fall in the win over the Grizzlies on Friday and is expected to be listed as doubtful. That said, his chances of playing are unlikely, especially since the Kings aren't expected to take risks with their star floor general. If that's the case, look for Malik Monk, Devin Carter and Keon Ellis to handle expanded roles in the backcourt.

Extremely efficient Wednesday Fox ended with 35 points (13-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 113-107 win over the 76ers.
Impact Fox had one of the most efficient shooting performances of his career after missing just three of his 16 shots en route to surpassing the 30-point plateau for the third time over his last six appearances. He's been turning things around following a rough patch in early December. The star floor general is averaging 29.5 points, 6.7 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 54.4 percent from the floor across his last six outings.
